The Peasant Girl's Glory

Tao Yao glanced at Xing Zhou, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't speak, she still walked forward with big strides.

But Xingzhou kept chasing after her: "Princess, I saw it all. You sent the stone back, right? Why did you leave? Why didn't you let everyone know?"

"I don't need to explain to anyone what I do."

Tao Yao was displeased, and turned her head: "Also, let me reiterate for the last time, don't call me a princess again, how many times have I said it, I am not a princess!"

After she finished speaking, she gave Xing Zhou a cold look, then turned around and walked out again.

"Hey wait, if you're not called a princess, what should I call you?"

Xing Zhou shrugged, and caught up again, "Do you want to call your name? Yan Fengzhu?"

Tao Yao stopped, with no expression on her face, she looked up at Xing Zhou: "I'm not Yan Fengzhu, but the one in the barracks."

what? !

Her words were like a boulder smashed into the calm water, stirring up thousands of waves.

Xing Zhou was stunned, he always thought that disfigured girl in the military camp was a fake princess.The reason why the real princess was unwilling to go back with him was because she was tired of court life and longed for freedom.

But at this time the princess in front of him told him: She is the fake one.

What the hell is it?
After a while, Xingzhou's dull voice came out: "You are not a princess, so who are you? Why, why..."

"Why is there a 'princess face'?"

Taoyao's expression was cold, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a rather sarcastic smile:
"Haven't you heard of a sorcery in the Western Regions—face changing? Cut off your face and her face and exchange them, sprinkle muscle powder on the flesh and blood, and her face will grow on your face in an instant ..."

"Put on someone else's face and start a new life."

Her red lips outline a charming smile, which is amazing and pitiful: "And I just happen to be a vicious woman who peels off people's skins and swaps them."

Hearing this, sailing the boat was like a lightning strike, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible." He shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "How could it be..."

But no matter how much he wanted to continue talking, the words that followed seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

If the face in front of her was Yan Fengzhu's, then Yan Fengzhu's disfigured face...

silence.

After about a while, Xing Zhou raised his head and looked at Tao Yao again, with a hoarse voice:

"I don't know who you are, but I don't believe that you are really that evil. You saved me and Shi Shi. If you were really a bad person, I wouldn't be able to live that night, so even if what you said is true Yes, I also believe that you have no choice but to do so."

Looking at Xing Zhou with firm eyes, Tao Yao suddenly smiled and stared at him from the corner of her eyes:
"Just trust me like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll peel off your face?"

Xing Zhou nodded without hesitation, "Don't be afraid, just take it if you want it! Anyway, I should have died a long time ago, and now I'm just living a mediocre life."

When his junior sister was not around, he wanted to chase after her. If there was no hatred for his family and country to rely on, maybe he would have passed away long ago.

After Xingzhou finished speaking, he looked up and saw Taoyao looking at him seriously, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at Taoyao, there was no trace of impurity in the smile, it was still the expression that made Taoyao's heart flutter.

Tao Yao suddenly saw a white hair on his temples looming in the sunlight, she also smiled back at him, and suddenly felt relieved.

Once, she and he loved walking when it was snowing, and the snow covered their hair, as if, in the blink of an eye, they had grown old together.

Now, his gray hair has grown, and she and him have passed half their lives.

She suddenly felt that years of grievances and grievances were hard to get over, and at this moment they finally passed away with the wind.

Life is short, the past, let it go.

The sunset fell into Zhaozhao Xingye, and the world was late, and the mountains and rivers were already autumn.

For a long time, Xingzhou looked at Taoyao, her eternally cold expression and breezy demeanor made him feel inexplicably familiar.

Seemingly aware that Xing Zhou was looking at her, Tao Yao also looked back at him, pulling her thin lips into a slight arc:

"For some reason, I always have a premonition that I will die badly!"

Xingzhou's brows were raised tightly, he had never seen anyone describe himself as "a terrible death".

He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, glanced at the person in front of him, and looked directly at her: "I believe that you will live a long life... With your strength, it is very easy to live for more than 100 years."

"Longevity?" Tao Yao sneered coldly, her brows taunting.

She casually picked up a wild mountain chrysanthemum next to her, and said with her fingertips:
"The beauty is unlucky, the world is cold, the song ends, maybe death is a perfect ending.

If I die, I hope you can take my body into the coffin for the sake of getting acquainted. "

"Who cares about you, I have no obligation to take care of your affairs..."

Hearing her increasingly outrageous nonsense, Xingzhou became anxious.

"Don't say such things in the future! You have to live well, you know?!"

Seeing him ordering through gritted teeth, Taoyao was not only not afraid, but even laughed out loud.

It was as if a fire was beating in her pupils. Whether it was the long agony or the short-term happiness of the first half of her life, all relevant traces seemed to be wiped out with the fire in her pupils...

***
Shen Furong's plan to divert the disaster to the east went even smoother than they had planned.

This has not yet been proved, Xiao Junyan has already thought of King Xian.

……

"What did you say, Shen Nanyang has returned to Beijing?"

Xiao Junyan walked up to Eunuch Liu, bowed his head and asked, "Did you see everything?"

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and replied:
"Yes, it is said that he accidentally fell into the hunter's trap and needs to return to Beijing to recover from his injuries. The old slave personally watched the carriage he got into."

"Madam Xiao is very concerned about his cousin, and even sent a doctor to take care of him all the way."

"However, when the old slave took the opportunity to say goodbye, he secretly gave this to the old slave."

Eunuch Liu spread out his palms as he spoke, and a crumpled ball of paper appeared in front of Xiao Junyan.

Seeing the ball of paper, Xiao Junyan's heart was full of alarm bells, as if he felt something in his heart, he couldn't believe it.

He quickly took the unfolded ball of paper, but there was no word on the letter.

He was not surprised, but calmed down, rolled up his cuffs gracefully, and walked straight into the room.Eunuch Liu also entered.

Afterwards, Xiao Junyan fetched the candlelight, put the paper over the candlelight, baked it for a while, and a piece of text gradually appeared:

The virtuous king secretly called, the villain tried to return to Beijing first, and Hou Ye took care.

Xiao Junyan frowned and read all the contents of the letter, and then put the letter paper in front of the candlelight, the candlelight ignited immediately when it touched the paper, and the heart of flame suddenly rose up.

The radiance of the fire made his face even deeper, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, without showing a trace of expression:
"It seems that King Xian no longer trusts me."

Although King Xian knew the existence of Shen Nanyang's hidden stake long ago, he had always been in charge of contacting Shen Nanyang through a single line.

This time the Xian King suddenly went over him and summoned Shen Nanyang to the capital, probably because he did not facilitate the army to return to the capital in time, but waited for the sudden return of the crown prince, and he already had a knot in his heart.

Eunuch Liu asked worriedly: "Master Hou, what should we do now?"
